Yes!
As a heterosexual male myself, I often find myself butting up against the unrealistic expectations many women have of men, just as the reverse is true of women and men's expectations of them.
It is refreshingg to see a piece like this that goes beyond Clooney and Damon (no matter how cool they are) and looks at what's really there: why would you love this person? Not just why would you want to fuck them, but why would you LOVE them?
These are all wonderfully painted portraits of men as men: human, faulty, beautiful, talented, funny, a little dangerous, thrilling - all, oddly enough, the things that men REALLY want in women.
Kudos to Salon for yet another piece of dead-on writing.
